Writing
- This week I would like you to imagine you are Dick Whittington’s cat, Puss.
- Write a diary or a story about your adventure to the Barbary Coast
- Look at the pictures from Puss’s Adventure. There is a boat like The Unicorn. What would it be like to live on a boat like that for months if you were a cat? The tower of London would be the last thing in London you would see as you left. How would you feel? It would also be the first part of London you would see when you came back. What would you feel like then? The White Cliffs of Dover are a tourist attraction but they are also one of the most famous parts of England. Seeing the White Cliffs would mean that Puss had got back to England. How would she feel? What would it be like for Puss to clear the King of the Barbary Coast’s feast of rats? What food might have been served?
